Measuring the color
of Raw Grains
Color is a vital component of raw grain production that determines the perception of the overall quality. With the ever-growing demand for good-quality grains, color measurement is a priority for producers. HunterLab provides the color measurement solutions required to meet the quality standards of visual perception for raw grains. Our best-in-class color measurement instruments give producers quantitative standardization values to evaluate quality repeatedly and reduce wastage accurately.
Why measure the color of raw grains?
Easy monitoring of Quality Control processes throughout the manufacturing cycle:
Color can provide necessary guidance regarding several quality parameters. Hence, color measurement is a vital strategy grain farmers can implement to overcome these challenges, ensure quality, streamline production, and maximize efficiency. As such, spectrophotometers are increasingly used in farming and milling, facilitating rapid and accurate quality assessment.
You need an easy-to-use, reliable color measurement instrument to provide early warning signals, ensuring your quality control processes work seamlessly. HunterLab spectrophotometers also help reduce wasted end products and improve your top-line revenue.
Boost the volume of your grain production: Spectrophotometers can boost useable volume production in virtually all parts of the grain farming process, from growth to milling, as color can offer a clear indicator to ensure grains are adequately cared for and milled effectively. To obtain the meaningful color data necessary to optimize quality, spectrophotometric testing can be implemented at several points in the production process.
Better safety and accuracy: HunterLab offers the ONLY innovative non-contact benchtop spectrophotometer worldwide. Auto-height positioning enables color measurement of non-homogenous, irregularly shaped/textured products with better accuracy and safety.
Say goodbye to manual errors and repetitive work: With an easy-to-use modern interface and the latest data communications features, our best-in-class spectrophotometers reduce the time and labor necessary to evaluate color. Additionally, they come with color measurement software that can store and recall thousands of standards. The data is displayed and stored digitally and can be fed into your Statistical Process Control (SPS) systems, facilitating more efficient workflows. These features accelerate the quality control process by shrinking the time to measure multiple samples.
With features like auto height positioning, a rotating sample platform, a large touch-screen display, and smart communications, HunterLab offers the best choice for color-measuring raw grains.
45°/0° measurement geometry measures color the way the eye sees color:
HunterLab spectrophotometer uses circumferential 45°/0° geometry illuminating 1.25” of sample providing a full 1” measurement area for the most accurate and consistent measurement. This geometry replicates the human visual response, measuring color the way the eye sees color.
